SUPERIOR ENERGY SERVICES, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission; however, management believes the disclosures which are
made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These
financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the accompanying notes
and Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
The financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
1997, has not been audited. However, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the results of operations for the periods presented have been
included therein. The results of operations for the first nine months of the
year are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which might be
expected for the entire year. Certain previously reported amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the 1998 presentation.
(2) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
In September 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of
Hydro-dynamics Oilfield Contractors, Inc. (Hydro-dynamics) for $1,000,000 in
cash. Payment of an additional $750,000 will be based on the attainment of
certain objectives. At the third anniversary of the acquisition, additional
consideration, if any, will be based upon a multiple of four times
Hydro-dynamics' average earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) over a three year period from the date of acquisition.
In no event will the total consideration paid exceed $22,000,000.
Hydro-dynamics provides cleaning services for oil and gas production vessels,
storage tanks and marine transport vessels. Hydro-dynamics principal office
is in Maurice, Louisiana and it has operating facilities in Venice, Morgan
City, Galliano and Intracoastal City, Louisiana.
The Company, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated June 5, 1998,
acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Lamb Services, Inc. and Tong
Specialty, Inc. for $2,857,000 cash. Additional consideration, if any, will be
based upon a multiple of four times the combined companies' average EBITDA less
certain adjustments. The additional consideration will be paid on the second
and third anniversary of the stock purchase agreement, and in no event, will
the total additional payments exceed $28,143,000. Lamb Services, Inc. is
engaged in the business of providing new and reconditioned casing, tubing and
drill pipe handling equipment. Tong Specialty, Inc. rents power tongs, power
units and related equipment. The companies' principal operating facility is in
Lafayette, Louisiana, and a sales office is maintained in Houston, Texas.
The above acquisitions were accounted for as a purchase, and the results of
operations of the acquired companies have been included from their respective
acquisition dates.
(2) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (CONTINUED)
In 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of six
companies for a combined $50,210,000 cash, 1,520,000 shares of the Company's
common stock and promissory notes providing for payments of up to $20,655,000.
The amounts payable under the promissory notes are subject to certain
contingencies and are not reflected in the respective company's purchase price.
Each of the acquisitions were accounted for as a purchase and the results of
operations of the acquired companies have been included from their respective
acquisition dates.
The following unaudited pro forma information for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1997, presents a summary of consolidated results of
operations as if the acquisitions made in 1997 had occurred on January 1, 1997
with pro forma adjustments to give effect to amortization of goodwill,
depreciation and certain other adjustments together with related income
tax effects (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Basic earnings per share $ 0.13 $ 0.36

Diluted earnings per share $ 0.12 $ 0.36

The above pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations as they would have been had the acquisitions been effected on
January 1, 1997.
(3) EARNINGS PER SHARE
In 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("FAS No. 128"). FAS No. 128
requires the replacement of previously reported primary and fully diluted
earnings per share required by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15 with
basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. The calculation of
basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effect of stock options and
warrants, while diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of
stock options and warrants. Per share amounts for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1997 have been restated to conform to the
requirements of FAS No. 128. The number of dilutive stock options and warrants
used in computing the three and nine month earnings per share were 165,000 and
284,000, respectively, in 1998 and 366,000 and 276,000, respectively, in 1997.
(4) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On October 28, 1998, the Company signed a definitive agreement to combine with
Parker Drilling Company (Parker). Under the terms of the agreement, which
is subject to the approvals of regulatory agencies and the stockholders of both
companies, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parker will merge into the Company with
the result that the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parker,
and upon consummation of the merger, each issued and outstanding share of the
Company's common stock will be converted into the right to receive .90 of a
share of Parker common stock. The consummation of the merger is subject to a
number of usual and customary conditions, including stockholder approval, and
it is anticipated that, assuming approval by the Company's stockholders, the
merger will be consummated during the first quarter of 1999.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Quarters Ended September 30,
1998 and 1997
The Company's primary operating area is the Gulf of Mexico. The Company's
operations during the third quarter were significantly impacted by a nearly
continuous series of storms and hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico in September
which had a significant impact on the result of the Company's operations. The
Company's operations were also adversely affected by reduced levels of demand
for certain of the Company's services during the third quarter as a result of
decreased demand due to the reduction or deferment of expenditures by certain
of the major and independent oil and gas companies active in the Gulf of
Mexico.
The Company's revenues increased 68% to $22.2 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1998, as compared to $13.2 million for the same period in 1997.
This was despite significantly reduced operations during September as a result
of inclement weather. The majority of the increase is attributable to
acquisitions the Company completed in 1997 and 1998.
The Company's gross margin decreased to 49.2% for the quarter ended September
30, 1998, from 58.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 1997. This is a direct
result of the negative impact weather and operating conditions had on the
Company's operations.
Depreciation and amortization increased 144%, to $2.0 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1998, from $829,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997. Most of the increase resulted from the larger asset base
that has resulted from the Company's acquisitions. General and administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 26.4% of revenue for the three
months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to 23.2% of revenue for the three
months ended September 30, 1997.
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 decreased 33.3% to $1.6
million as compared to $2.4 million for the comparable period last year. The
Company results for the third quarter reflected the impact of the global
economic slowdown on the price of oil and gas and customers' decisions to limit
or defer investments in exploration, drilling, production and plugging and
abandonment activities. Continued depressed prices for oil and gas could
adversely affect the demand for the Company's services and the Company's
results of operations in the future.
COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1998 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
The Company's revenues increased 108% to $69.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $33.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997. This was despite significantly reduced operations during
September as a result of inclement weather. The majority of the increase in
revenues is as a result of the acquisitions completed in 1997 and 1998.
Gross margins decreased to 53.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
as compared to 55.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This is the
result of the negative impact weather had on revenues and operating conditions
in the third quarter of 1998.
Depreciation and amortization increased 178% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 over the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Most of the
increase is the result of the larger asset base that has resulted from the
Company's acquisitions. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenue increased to 23.3% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 as compared to 22.7% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30,
1997. In the first quarter of 1998, the Company sold Baytron, Inc. for a gain
of approximately $1.2 million.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased 66% to $9.5
million from $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This
was despite the weather related slowdown in the third quarter of 1998.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company had net income of
$9.5 million and net cash provided by operating activities of $14.7 million,
compared to $5.7 million and $696,000, respectively, for the same period in
1997. The Company's EBITDA increased to $20.7 million, exclusive of the gain
on sale of a subsidiary, as compared to $11.0 million for the same period in
1997. The increase in net income, cash flow and EBITDA was primarily the
result of the acquisitions completed in 1997 and 1998.
In June 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Lamb
Services, Inc. and Tong Specialty, Inc. for $2,857,000 cash. Additional
consideration, if any, will be based upon a multiple of four times the combined
companies' average EBITDA over a three year period less certain adjustments.
The additional consideration will be paid on the second and third anniversary
of the stock purchase agreement, and in no event, will the total additional
payments exceed $28,143,000.
In September 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of
Hydro-dynamics for $1,000,000 in cash. Payment of an additional $750,000
will be based on the attainment of certain objectives. At the third
anniversary of the acquisition, additional consideration, if any, will be
based upon a multiple of four times Hydro-dynamics' average EBITDA over a three
year period from the date of acquisition. In no event will the total
consideration paid exceed $22,000,000.
In the first nine months of 1998, the Company made capital expenditures of
$22.5 million primarily for additional rental equipment. Other capital
expenditures included P&A equipment spreads and renovation of the Company's new
operating facility. The Company, as of the end of the first quarter,
consolidated all of its New Orleans area sales and administrative functions in
this facility.
During the second quarter, the Board of Directors approved the purchase of up
to 500,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock. As of September
30, 1998 the Company had purchased 439,500 shares of treasury stock for
approximately $2,151,000. Subsequent to September 30, 1998, the Company
purchased an additional 35,000 shares of treasury stock for approximately
$94,000. As of November 5, 1998, the Company has purchased a total of 474,500
shares of treasury stock at an average cost of $4.73 per share. This
repurchase program has been discontinued.
The Company, in the first quarter of 1998, made a final payment of $750,000 in
connection with the acquisition of Dimensional Oil Field Services, Inc. In the
first quarter of 1998, the Company received cash proceeds of $4.2 million for
the sale of Baytron, Inc.
The Company maintains a Bank Credit Facility which provides for a revolving
line of credit up to $45.0 million, matures on April 30, 2000, and bears
interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus a margin that depends on the Company's
debt coverage ratio. As of November 4, 1998, there was $25.9 million
outstanding under the Bank Credit Facility (currently 7.1% per annum).
Borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility are available for acquisitions,
working capital, letters of credit and general corporate purposes.
Indebtedness under the Bank Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company's
subsidiaries, collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company
and its subsidiaries, and a pledge of all the common stock of the Company's
subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Bank Credit Facility, the Company has also
agreed to maintain certain financial ratios. The Bank Credit Facility also
imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company to make capital
expenditures, pay dividends or other distributions to shareholders, make
acquisitions or incur indebtedness outside of the Bank Credit Facility.
Management currently believes that the Company will have additional capital
expenditures, excluding acquisitions, of approximately $5.0 million in 1998
primarily to further expand its rental tool inventory. The Company believes
that cash generated from operations and availability under the Bank Credit
Facility will provide sufficient funds for the Company's identified capital
projects and working capital requirements. However, part of the Company's
strategy involves the acquisition of companies, which have products and
services complementary to the Company's existing base of operations. Depending
on the size of any future acquisitions, the Company may require additional debt
financing possibly in excess of the limits of the current Bank Credit Facility
or additional equity financing.
The Company has considered the impact of the year 2000 issues on its computer
systems and has determined that it is year 2000 compliant. In addition, while
the Company is addressing the year 2000 issues with various third parties such
as vendors and customers, no assurances can be made that such external sources
will be year 2000 compliant.
In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("FAS
No. 131"). FAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way public enterprises are
to report information about operating segments in annual financial statements
and requires the reporting of selected information about operating segments in
interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes
standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic
areas, and major customers. The Company plans to adopt FAS No. 131 for the
year ended December 31, 1998.
On October 28, 1998, the Company signed a definitive agreement to combine with
Parker Drilling Company (Parker). Under the terms of the agreement, which
is subject to the approvals of regulatory agencies and the stockholders of both
companies, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parker will merge into the Company with
the result that the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parker,
and upon consummation of the merger, each issued and outstanding share of the
Company's common stock will be converted into the right to receive .90 of a
share of Parker common stock. The consummation of the merger is subject to a
number of usual and customary conditions, including stockholder approval, and
it is anticipated that, assuming approval by the Company's stockholders, the
merger will be consummated during the first quarter of 1999.
